LS1 Drift Build 'Nuff Said'

[philohlean]

Honestly the thread title was almost close enough to something typical of an actual build and I saw it had a single reply so I figured what the hell, let's see if it's anything good.

It was still spam, but I learned something goofy about WVU, so I'm okay with this.

[meech]

hahhahahahaah this is actually funny, I go to WVU and the PRT (personal rapid transit) is like a little tram car that takes you around campus. It was designed in the 60-70's by some aircraft company. It sucks lmao it breaks down daily but its actually pretty cool

So did some measuring for my wheels and came to the conclusion that I will run 25mm spacers rear and 38mm Spacers front..

Also going to lower the rear some..





Also got my bolts in that I will be using for the overfenders.. Decided to get some clean burnt titanium ones..

[Royal_T]

Here is a little tease of the fronts... Still have to get a alignment and get my fronts sitting at -4.5 camber.. Then I will add a spacer to finish her off... This just give you a idea.. Current front specs are 18x9.5 -22

If you look at my signature it clearly states how I feel about spacers.. Well since I built these wheels to go with my other fenders I will definitely have to get some spacers for these fenders, which I ****. I will eventually rebuild them so I wont have to run spacers but I guess I better remove my sig for now... lol

NIce, I don't know how you're gonna be able to go hauling up to a corner and throw it sideways after all the $ and sweat in it! I'd have a hard time I know.

Easy, full throttle, clutch kick and a flick of the wrist... LOL

Drift build.....I'm in. Nice work bud

Thanks

First off no update yet really... I ditched the overfenders I have for the front and rear and have some new ones being made fresh out of mold. Reason for this decision was due to available for replacement parts. Old overs were from NZ and would be hard to get spares so hooked up with a guy in the states.. So should have those soon.

Okay guys finally some update. I finally was able to finish my brake lines, with family life, work it was hard to get to the car. I just ordered parts every week until I had everything to smash it out in pretty much one day.



Before we get started I decided to showcase this Cognac instead of beer. (since I have not had a decent beer in month). Anyways, my mother In-law picked up this Hennessy Pure-White when she went on a cruise. They don't sale these state side so it was a treat. This is probably the smoothest Hennessy I have ever tried..



Okay, so I got a little OCD with the brake lines. I made bulk head fittings for the firewall and the rear wheel wells. This way if I need to do anything it well be quick and easy and over all its just a cleaner look.









Going to be running -3an lines and fittings..



Okay lets getting started, have to have my guilty pleasure





Started my installing the new -3an fittings on the BMC





added a little 90 degree bend right here so it would not hit my filter on my heads.



Added to bulkhead fittings here. One goes to the rear and the other goes to the passenger side.





This is the view behind the firewall to run to the passenger side.





And out the other side, did not want a lot of clutter in the bay..




Ran two Banjo fittings for the fronts..





Fronts are done..






To do the rears I had to make a tube straighter for the hard lines that go to the rear. Did not want to buy a $200 tool so made my own.. Came out good..



Started from the firewall and heading to the rear.



And yep found me some black hardline.. Just had to do it..





Coming up on the tee.. yeah I need to clean the car.. once everything is done interior will be cleaned



Here you will see both the tees for my MBC and my Hydro E-Brake





Had both sides running the the bulkheads in the wheel well..





Close up





And the other side of the wheel well






And rears done..


Now just have to bleed them and get ready to head to a alignment shop.. But before I go I will swap out my Clutch Master Cylinder for the Wilwood 7/8" master cylinder that Sikky sales. Reason for this is the OEM Cylinder can't handle the T56 clutch..

Tell next time guys..
